P. E. Taylor
P. E. Taylor, aged about thirty-five years, committed suicide by shooting, at his home early Monday morning. The weapon used in destroying his life was a 25 caliber revolver. The bullet which caused his death was fired into the back of the head, causing almost instant death.
Mr. Taylor had been in business in Greeley for nearly a year, coming there from Strawberry Point to engage in the meat market and general merchandise business. He had been successful in his business venture, and only about ten days ago he sold the business to other parties. He leaves a wife, and two daughters, five and seven years old.
Coroner A. D. Brown and County Attorney M. J. Yoran were called to Greeley to conduct an inquest. Prior to committing the terrible deed Mr. Taylor appeared to be in his usual state of mind, and gave no evidences of mental unsoundness, and even showed signs of worry. The motives which prompted him to take his life will perhaps never be known.
The family has the sincerest sympathy in this time of great affliction.
